Addressing the Nursing Shortage in Racine: How Students Can Help

In 2025, the nationwide nursing shortage exceeded 200,000 registered nurses. This figure puts into question the U.S. medicine's ability to provide high-quality, timely, and accessible care. The reasons for the growing gap between the nursing workforce needed and available nursing staff are diverse, ranging from demographic to systemic factors. Wisconsin, and the county of Racine in particular, also mirror the national crisis, with a pronounced RN shortage on the agenda.

Bridging Time: Paris and Its Spellbinding Spans

What would the City of Light be without the poetry of its bridges? Arcing across the Seine like stone verses in a love letter to the past, the bridges of Paris offer more than a way to cross from Left Bank to Right.

“Deep human connection is… the purpose and the result of a meaningful life - and it will inspire the most amazing acts of love, generosity, and humanity” - Melinda Gates

School’s out for summer! In the northern hemisphere, it’s the height of the sunshine season. Picture ice cream dripping down happy toddler faces, blue tongues from the best ice pops around, running through sprinklers, lake life and beach days, unstructured playtimes, and firefly chasing.

Policing European Tourist Hotspots: Tourism, Crime, & Anti-Social Behaviour

 
Whilst law-breaking tourists are undoubtedly in the minority, and I am confident that no snsvs fall within their ranks, they still remain a key component in discussions about the relationship between tourism and crime.
